I received this email from Hon. Rachael Nyamai in response to my emails regarding our works in particular the Dispensary and requesting the Kenyan Government’s assistance as two of our wonderful supporters (in the medical profession) wish to go to Kanthi to work in the Dispensary in the New Year. Rachael mentioned Elective Abroad, however I checked Google for Elective Africa and so shall contact them directly for assistance and also request their professional opinion on Ebola and safety in Kenya. The following is as Hon. Rachael Nyamai writes:
“Dear Helen,
I am back to Kenya after a long period of travel and work outside my constituency. Ist I apologize that this has taken too long to get back to you and give you the assurance that we are really thrilled by the work that you and the people of Australia….the women friendship group are doing. My silence and that of my office does not mean that they are indifferent or that do not care. They do not respond on a matter which is new or if they do not understand such as the one for nurses.
This is my belated response.
a. Just as the men and women in Kanthi village we are looking forward to a village center of excellence which will support people beyond the village. I have given my commitment to you band the community that we will walk together in this.
B. The assistance with the school and hospital are most welcome. That’s why CDF has decided to fully collaborate with you and your friends in making this a reality. This includes ensuring that the school is registered and we ensure that we build classrooms even beyond the one that we have given. This has been shared with pastor and he trusts we will do.
C. I will connect the two ladies to elective abroad which is a local company that will handle this matter. They place students in hospitals and also arrange for medical tourism for various groups. Where documentation is required through the ministry of health, I will reach our to the minister of health to help out. I only chair the committee of health in parliament but we work closely so documentation should not be a problem. For the insurance elective abroad handles this on daily basis so they should handle this. Your documents will be required for this purpose.
D. I travelled to the US to seek MEdical supplies. I got a serious donor. We will collaborate to get some commodities for Kanthi with you and probably the women friends.
E. The food donated for the kids is highly appreciated. Here there are kids who won’t go to school due to lack of food. Government can’t afford food and helping hand is most welcome.
F. When am back to my constituency this weekend, I will find out what’s happening on the classroom for your school and make a more informed comment.
G. Nairobi is okay in terms of safety. It’s important that proper arrangements are made to the hotels though and safe transport to mutomo. I am sure you don’t need to worry about this. In case you require elective abroad….this will be handled but Ntheeu will give us guidance on this.
I will later go through the mails to respond yo any matter which I may not have responded to.
Lastly believe you me. We will walk this journey with you and your commitment is super. I thank you and I am sorry for the late response to all the important matters raised.
Pls Cheer Up and let run with all the women you have brought together for the sake of the people of Kanthi. Be blessed.
Hon Rachael Nyamai “
The above is so exciting, with the Women’s Friendship Group starting in providing the means to feed the village people of Kanthi in 2011 to having the collaboration of the Kenyan Government in our projects is amazing!
Thank you to all who have supported these project which are enhancing so many lives on another continent.
Cheers,
HELEN
